If you tell me which OS you\u2019re using I can give more precise steps!\n\n---\n\n### How to Change the Default Download Location (Edge \u2013 Windows / Mac)\n\n1. Open Microsoft Edge.  \n2. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner \u2192 **Settings**. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-edge/change-the-downloads-folder-location-in-microsoft-edge-4049e93b-0ef6-e44f-aca0-7d5f37a39294?utm_source=openai))  \n3. On the left sidebar, click **Downloads**. ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-location-downloads-new-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Look for the **Location** entry. Click the **Change** button next to it. ([majorgeeks.com](https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/default_downloads_folder_microsoft_edge.html?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Browse to the folder you want files to be saved in, select it, and confirm (e.g. \u201cSelect Folder\u201d). ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-location-downloads-new-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))  \n6. Edge will now use that as the default location for new downloads. ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-location-downloads-new-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Optional: Ask Every Time Where to Save (Save As Prompt)\n\nIf you'd prefer Edge ask you each time where to save a file instead of always saving in the default folder:\n\n- Still under **Settings \u2192 Downloads**, toggle on **\u201cAsk me what to do with each download\u201d** (or similarly worded). ([techbout.com](https://www.techbout.com/change-microsoft-edge-download-location-4318/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What If You Can\u2019t Change It?\n\nSometimes, in school or work environments (or if your PC is managed by admin policies), this setting might be locked. If you don\u2019t see the \u201cChange\u201d button or it\u2019s grayed out, that\u2019s often why. ([m.php.cn](https://m.php.cn/en/faq/1796874799.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me if you're on **Windows 10** or **11**, or **macOS**, I can send you instructions that match your system exactly."
